The Cursed Bloodline
Arc Xio: Who is really that cunning?

"Such a damn you!"

The sound of the Snake Monster echoed within the dark cave with moist ringingding rocks. There was a candlelight and a flower pot containing white Lilies next to the snake stood

"I'll teach you a lesson, a human who dares to disturb my rum! "

The big white snake disappeared along with the candlelight blown by the wind. Xio started to put on a standby stance, although he looked calm he was ready to receive an attack of any kind. The dark cave made it easier for the giant snake to hide its large body

" Human greed is a disease that cannot be treated at all! "Speak the voice of the Serpent. But Xio did not know exactly where he was hiding

" Ssssssttttt.

Xio took out his sword, observing the surroundings of the place. His gaze was fixed on something that seemed to flow towards his feet

The black liquid was a corrosive snake poison, it could even melt a stone. Xio quickly jumped onto the roof of the cave to avoid the poison attack

Taps..... Wagngggg......

He stuck his sword on the roof of the cave, as a place to hold on to avoid the poison that creeps on the cave floor.

Xio's eyes looked around the place, he quickly activated his Gyokunya seal. He also let out a blue flame from his palm

The blue flames coated the sword in his hand, he quickly circled the entire cave and burned the cave with his blue flames

"You can't kill me, just by burning my cave boy!

You human beings, only use your ability to oppress humans and other weaker beings, for your purposes

That's why I hate humans. In our appeal to the snakes, they are far more poisonous and cunning...... "

Wagnggggg......

Xio did not let out a word, he simply stuck out his sword and started to close his eyes

Xio was aware, in order to defeat a snake, he could not rely on strength alone. It needs calmness and proper analysis, what else it does not face the usual snake demon

Xio made use of the sound of the scales of the snake swirling with the rocks, so that he could figure out where the snake was actually hiding

Xio could not use his illusion magic technique to the snake. Because snakes are weak in vision or hearing. While those two things were Xio's means to instill illusions into his enemy

Blazing red eyes started to appear behind Xio

"You see only one side of human behavior. While you can only hide in a dark place that obscures the view of the world. You only believe what you want to believe" Xio said.

Trassssss.........

The tail of the white snake that turned into a sharp spear tip slashed at Xio's stomach quickly

" For what I see is what I believe! " say the serpent

The snake's eyes began to glow, its mouth fanged with its tongue stretched open wide. Signaling he was satisfied to have slashed his opponent with a single strike

"I told you, you can't believe what you just saw, maybe some truth is hidden in a place you can't see"

No! ..... No! ...... No! ..........

Suddenly Xio's body turned into a bunch of crows and disappeared. What was slashed by the Snake turned into a statue of earth and was destroyed

"A- What? ........ If it was your illusion, it shouldn't have worked on me! " said the serpent was surprised

Now it was Xio's turn to hide and only his voice was heard.

"You may not trust a human being, who just uses you and stabs you in the back.

But....... It's far out there..... Many people are willing to sacrifice for others. Even if you have to sacrifice your own life. That is what is called sincere love.

" Cih! A boy like you, wouldn't know how cruel the world is........... "

Although snakes have poor hearing and vision, they are best olfactory and sensory on their tongues

" Well or later. I'll find you, boy! " say the Snake

However, the snake only felt the heat due to the fire that burned the entire cave. He could not sense where Xio was. Neither from the smell, nor from the human temperature belongs to Xio

Not yet had he found Xio's whereabouts, the Snake's eyes began to round. His body began to wriggle the heat

"Ukh! Why?...... Why Body! ........ It's so hot........?! "

The large body of the mustard started to squirm. If it was an ordinary fire, its thick snake scales could ward off heat easily. But not for the Blue Xio fire.

Xio did seem calm, and did not counterattack at all on his enemy. Not only was he unable to attack the muster, he was just analyzing the situation around him. Tampa wasted energy with something rash, he first learned the weakness of the Snake

Toks..... Tock.... Toks......

The sound of footsteps echoed within the cave. Xio walked quietly closer to the body of the Snake who continued to wriggle in pain.

In order to trick the Serpent's tongue sensor, Xio activated blue flames to coat his body. Making it fuse with the same fire as the fire that burned the cave.

Snakes are a cold-blooded type of creature, which does not like the heat that is too high. It was used by Xio well.

Blue Fire Xio is the Fire with the hottest temperature, which is equivalent to the temperature of the sun and can burn anything in just an instant into ash.

"Curtain! Could I have been killed by a boy like you? " said the snake that began to fall

Xio stood right in front of the snake's head, and started looking straight into his red eyes. He began to draw his sword, about to slash the snake's head

" The world is a cruel hell. But the pain of suffering a person feels can also make that person feel the suffering of others.

That is the foundation of love that can heal pain and hatred"

Wagnggg............

Xio just stuck his sword on the ground, making the snake wonder why he didn't kill him.

"Why didn't you kill me? Are you scared? "

" How hard I stabbed you, you can never die! "

Xio looked at the body of the snake that had started to burn from the heat of his Fire, but instantly the wound evaporated and regenerated quickly

"God! You're a smart kid too. You can quickly read my skills.

You're right, you can't kill me at all! "

"I never said, I don't know your weaknesses, do I? "

Tessssss..........

Xio quickly disappeared from the sight of the snake.

" Your Serpent body I cannot kill, but not your human body! "

Xio unsheathed his sword towards a red-haired girl. The girl who had been hiding among the large rocks in the corner of the cave seemed to tremble in fear

Xio realized, the real power of the snake is not in the form of a snake. Except in the body of the girl. Xio also felt the power of the 3-pillar stone appear in the girl

"B- How did you know? "

Xio's strength binds the Snake's weak body, he controls the ground to ensnare the snake's massive body. Xio directed the girl towards the Snake's body

" O'S..... Oro-ryu's chat.... Help me! ... " said the girl, trembling in fear.

The name of the snake is Oro-ryu. While the girl in Sandra Xio was the girl he had met. The girl with glasses and long red hair, Yuri

" yuri....... Hey you! Your business with me, that girl has nothing to do with us! " said Oro-ryu full of anxiety. He was afraid, Xio would just kill Yuri

"I told you, I'm here just to take the Stone 3 Pillar. I'm not planning on killing you or harassing you"

"Stone..... The 3 Pillars stone is my source of strength. If you take it..... I can't even protect myself from humans! " says the Snake. Xio still thrust his sword towards Yuri.

"K-You can kill me, sir! But don't you hurt Oro-ryu, he is my only family." Yuri said.
